Mediterranean Sea - High Resolution L4 Sea Surface Temperature Reprocessed

Mediterranean Sea - High Resolution L4 Sea Surface Temperature Reprocessed For the Mediterranean Sea- the CNR has reprocessed Pathfinder V5.2 (PFV52) AVHRR data over period Nov 1981-Dec 2012 to provide with daily gap-free maps (L4) at the original PFV52 resolution at 0.0417° x 0.0417°. The data are interpolated through an Optimal Interpolation algorithm.

HadISST1 - Global sea ice and Sea Surface Temperature analyses

HadISST1 - Global sea ice and Sea Surface Temperature analyses Global SST fields were created using a variety of techniques including Reduced Space Optimal Interpolation (RSOI). Sea ice concentration fields from different sources were analysed to make them as consistent as possible through time. Some care should be taken when using the sea-ice concentration data, particularly in the Southern Hemisphere where there is no realistic interannual variability in sea ice prior to 1973. The HadISST1 data set has been shown to be an improvement upon (and has superseded) the GISST data set.

Climate change, impacts and vulnerability in Europe 2016

Climate change, impacts and vulnerability in Europe 2016 This report is an indicator-based assessment of past and projected climate change and its impacts on ecosystems and society. It also looks at society’s vulnerability to these impacts and at the development of adaptation policies and the underlying knowledge base. This is the fourth ‘Climate change, impacts and vulnerability in Europe’ report, which is published every four years. This edition aims to support the implementation and review process of the 2013 EU Adaptation Strategy, which is foreseen for 2018, and the development of national and transnational adaptation strategies and plans.
